houses left standing, but the people can.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON, D. c.. June 13, 1873;

WASHINGTON, d. o., June l3, 1887
Few persons, even among those who
have figured prominently in political
life, are better known, or more closely
identified with the history of the Nation
al Capital, than is W. W. Corcoran,
Washington's aged millionaire and phi
:lanthropist, and the announcement of
the fact that he had suffered partial
stroke of paralysis, which appeared in the
papers on Tuesday last, created q very
general sensation throughout the city.
Ifevidence were lacking as to the general
feeling Of anxiety which prevails it
would be at once supplied by review of
the enormous pile of cards which were
deposited upon the card table in the hall
of Mr.. Corcoran's residence upon the day
following the announcement Of his
illness. Nearly every person of note in
the city had card there. Among others
were those ofSecretaries Bayard, Whit
ney and Fairchild; the French, German
and Brazilian Ministers, Baron and Ba-
roness Rosen, Admiral Porter, Admiral
John 81. Russell, Medical Director F. L..
Harvey, and the officers of the Washing.
ton Monument Association, of which
Mr.. Corcoran is the president. While
there has been marked improvement in
Mr.. Corcoran's condition since Tuesday,
and he is now able to sit up portion of
the time, still the physicians represent
that his life ia in the balance. Against
the unfayorable condition of his extreme
old age, the rareness Of recovery in such
cases, and the possibility that an addi-
tional stroke of paralysis may come at
any time, there are the favorable circum.
stances that the patient is endowed with
a remarkable strong constitution; and his
general health is good.
Under the present administration of
the postal service the position of post
Office inspector is not as much of sine.
cure as in the past. The last session of
|. Congress provided that all fourth. class
post Offices should be inspected as regu.
larly as.the more important ones. The
examination of fourth class Offices that
have thus far been made, make very
gratifying exhibit of the condition Of the
service; Out of more than one thousand
inspectors reports, less than one hundred
iofthem contain any suggestions of inefi.
cheney or carelessness in the management
of the Offices.
Mr.. Jay Gould accompanied by his
wife and three children arrived in Wash.

The telegram from Maine relative to
the sale:ofs imported liquors is evidently
huge hoax. There IS not, as far as We
know, OF as other attorneys With whom
Ne have conversed know, any such
provision Of the National statutes as
would exempt imported liquors from
bang handled subject I'd State laws.
The United States revenue license is
granted subject to the prpYisions of the
laws of the State, and there is, ne take it,
I no immunity given to foreign liquors
which Is denied TO domestic liquors. We
have no idea that the prohibitioniats of
Milne are troubled BY any such dilem-
una. Who can cite the section of the
United States statute that isrelied on as
stated IN this dispatch : IF il: cannot be
found iit does not exist, and that is pre-.
:scisely whas we apprehend TO be the situ-
afion.
